The Obligatory Palin Pregnancy Post

I didn't want to touch this subject, but the wankosphere is going nuts over Bristol's baby. Much of it is quite simply insane. So I'm going to depart from my usual mean spirited snark and inject a little sanity into the debate.

1. There's no evidence that the pregnancy was unwanted. Bristol Palin is a conservative white churchgoer. Like Mexicans, and unlike white liberals, these people love children. You can tell this by counting the number of children they have<. Which means, to take Vox Day's argument a step further, the sex ed vs. abstinence education debate is likely not applicable. No amount of putting condoms on banannas will keep a girl who wants a baby from doing the thing you do to, you know, get babies.

2. Sorry Steve Sailer posters, the kid is not illegitimate if Bristol and Levi get married. And if they do get married, she is not his "baby momma," she is his wife. Yes, Field Negro posters I know Fox News called Michelle Obama a "baby momma," but this means they are, as you well know, racist assholes and not people to emulate.

3. It's not a tragedy for either of them that they're probably being forced into getting married. Shotgun weddings are a tradition that should be brought back. Bristol Palin gets a handsome, athletic, masculine husband who is most likely a good shot. Levi Johnston gets to spend the rest of his life with a child, a decent looking wife with large breasts and well connected in-laws who can help him find a good job. Most young people who conceive a child out of wedlock should be so lucky.

As an aside, I'm probably the only person on earth who reads both The Field Negro and Steve Sailer regularly. If you're curious, I don't really agree with either of them about much, but they're both worth reading for the perspectives they provide. The only blogger on my daily reads that I'm regularly on the same page with is Asabagna, who has tragically stopped updating.

Sorry about that, tomorrow I'll be back to the mean spirited insults.
